Saturday night I bought a fleece hat with a pull down face and neck warmer.  The new hat was wonderful!  I could turn my head again to look for traffic.  (I had been wearing a couple hoodies.  With the hoodies, I had to stop and turn sideways to look for cars.)  I felt free!  I still wore another beanie on top of the fleece hat--Sarah's favorite one with the yellow pom-pom on top.  I was very warm during the run and it was very relaxing.  My legs felt great in spite all the lunges and squats from Saturday.   It was so nice to have an easy run without my layers of clothes or the weather bothering me.  There was light snow, temp 19 degrees, and wind chill 7.

I think I was a bit chicken about not going out on Saturday when it was 1 degree.  Now that I have my hat, I don't think anything can stop me now.

I ran with music today.  I enjoyed it.  I think I didn't have the right songs for me when I said I didn't like running to music a couple weeks ago.  I was listening to my husband's songs.  The running tune put together for me are a lot of fun.  Sometimes I feel like I am flying.

I think that you have always been pretty instoppable, you get out in conditions I don't think that I ever would! I'm glad that you found the hat. The right clothing seems to make the biggest difference between unbearable and bearable! Stay warm and happy running!!!

Oh good! You so deserve a good run after all the icky weather you've been having. Glad you were cozy and flying to your tunes- GREAT JOB!
